Abstract
We evaluated myoepithelial cells and collagen IV, a basement membrane component, in 40 IPCs from 39 (35 female and 4 male) patients and assessed their clinical management and follow-up. The mean patient age at diagnosis was 68 years, and the mean tumor size was 1.8 cm. Thirteen cases were pure IPC,...

Abstract
Most medical centers routinely perform or require the pathologic examination of breast tissue that is excised for adolescent gynecomastia; however, its utility is questionable, given the benign nature of the condition.
A retrospective chart review was conducted to examine the incidence of pathologic...

Abstract
Health care disparities have been documented in rural populations. The authors hypothesized that breast cancer patients in urban counties would have higher rates of postmastectomy breast reconstruction relative to patients in surrounding near-metro and rural counties.
The authors used the Surveillan...

Abstract
We explored the association among polymorphisms (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs) in these three genes and the occurrence of taxane-induced toxicity. We studied 95 patients affected by breast cancer and under treatment with taxanes as adjuvant, metastatic or neo-adjuvant therapy. We genotyped...

Abstract
We describe three cases with extensively pretreated advanced breast cancer developing intramedullary spinal cord metastases two of whom were receiving trastuzumab, one of whom was a male. As therapeutic advances increase overall survival for patients with metastatic breast cancer, patterns of diseas...

Abstract
The prevalence of BP in our institution was 1.5% of all identified cases with plasmacytoma and 0.2% of the cases with breast cancer. In 8 of 53 patients (15%), primary BP was diagnosed, and in 45 patients (85%) involvement of the breast was a secondary event of the multiple myeloma (MM). Clinically,...

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to model the impact of comorbidity on breast cancer patient outcomes (e.g., length of stay and disposition). Previous studies suggest that comorbidities may significantly affect mortality risks for breast cancer patients. The 2006 AHRQ Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS)...

Abstract
We describe a case of an HIV-infected man on effective combined antiretroviral therapy, presenting with bilateral gynaecomastia revealing breast carcinoma. Gynaecomastia was first considered to be related to efavirenz and/or didanosine. Although breast carcinoma is rare among HIV-infected men, it sh...

Abstract
We describe the case of a young male patient with invasive ductal breast carcinoma.
In November 2005, a 30-year-old Afro-Caribbean man presented at St. Clair Medical Centre in Port of Spain, Trinidad, with a painless lump in the right breast. Diagnostic findings revealed that the patient had stage I...

Abstract
A 64-year-old man noticed a right subareolar mass in May 2005. On physical examination, an oval-shaped, well-circumscribedthe tumor (6.0 x 5.5 cm in size) was located just beneath the right nipple. The tumor was elastic, firm and freely movable. Neither axillary nor supraclavicular lymph nodes were...

Abstract
A 58-year-old Japanese male patient visited our hospital for evaluation of an elastic hard mass, measuring 80 x 50 mm, in the right axillary area. Incisional biopsy for suspected malignancy was performed, and histopathologic examination by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining yielded a diagnosis of poor...

Abstract
Oncocytic carcinoma of the parotid gland is a rare neoplasm. To date 70 cases have been described in 55 reports. To the best of our knowledge the simultaneous occurrence of oncocytic carcinoma and second malignancy in another site (outside the parotid gland) has not been reported. An oncocytic carci...

Abstract
Breast cancer in males should be considered a condition biologically different from female breast cancer as a result of factors related to the different hormonal influences, reflected mainly in immunohistochemical differences.

Abstract
MMR deficiency was identified in 51% of breast cancers arising in known mutation carriers. Breast cancer therefore may represent a valid tissue option for the detection of MMR deficiency in which spectrum tumors are lacking.

Abstract
In women, breast cancer causes over one million new cases each year, of which about half occur in industrialized countries, however, is in developing countries like ours, where most deaths due to this cause. Currently, the breast cancer is the leading cause of death from malignancy in women over 25...

Abstract
Less than 1% of all breast cancers occur in men, and although the disease is rare, the incidence appears to be increasing. Because men usually do not suspect breast cancer when they feel a lump in the breast, diagnosis frequently is delayed. Although screening for breast cancer is not recommended fo...

Abstract
Breast Cancer is the second commonest cause of cancer death in women. Almost all women survive breast cancer if it is detected before it starts to spread. The aim of the study is to analyze the demographical profile, stage of presentation, histological type, and treatment modalities of breast cancer...

Abstract
Male breast cancer only makes up about 1% of all malignancies in the male population; the median age at time of diagnosis is 68 years. The treatment procedures used in clinical practice are those confirmed by studies on women.
Presented is a case of a 28-year-old man with breast cancer in the fourth...

Abstract
Breast cancer in male is usually discovered in locally advanced stages, although most of the patients are regularly screened for chronic hepatitis. Use of biological markers allows a more accurate evaluation of the aggressiveness of the tumor, as well as a more specific treatment for each patient. M...
